Nikon Roadshow Gear Stolen

The security van which was transporting approximately £100, 000 worth of Nikon camera equipment from the Dublin NPS Roadshow was targetted by criminals on Saturday and all the equipment stolen.

A Nikon D800 - Announced last week and not available on the market yet

Here is a full list of the gear and a PDF of the list can be downloaded here. Included in the haul were demo versions of the Nikon D4 & Nikon 800 which are currently not available. The equipment was stolen before 10 oc on Saturday night from an unmarked van parked near The Phoenix Park.

The intro says it was a ‘security van’ but later in the post it describes it as an ‘unmarked van’. Security vans don’t get left unattended near Phoenix Park at 22.00. Somebody has been very very stupid!

Hi Crispin
Thanks for your comment. I stated that it was a security van because it was alarmed , with I understand CCTV etc. When I mentioned unmarked I meant not branded as “Nikon”. Hope that clarifies.

That is a really stupid thing to do…to park unmarked van near The Phoenix Park. It is NEVER safe to park in The Phoenix Park with highly likely it can be stolen, it is clear te driver who doesn’t know the area to chance it. I wouldn’t park in the Phoenix Park if you paid a million quid.

D7000 owner ( 2 months old/8K count..pop-up flash goes dark after 4 flashes Commanding a new SB-910 in Slave mode. Off to El Segundo, CA, West Coast Nikon Repair. We’ll see…)
Had a thought…if one helped in the recovery of the purloined goods, (was the whole van taken or emptied there?); wouldn’t it be righteous if Nikon let you pick one box as a reward…but you couldn’t resell it…you would have it to use for the length of the usual warranty period. Probably get you in The Nikon Newsletter.
Question for the Group.
What would you pick?
The why is your own business…I’d go for one those giant fast telephoto mortar tubes..Probably can’t even lift it as old as I am.
